commoditizes
Turns into product
Commoditizes means turns into a commodity—something interchangeable and traded primarily on price rather than distinctive qualities.
Technology often commoditizes products that were once specialized: Smartphones commoditized digital cameras.
The term usually carries negative connotations, suggesting that something unique or valuable has become generic: The industry commoditizes creative work.
